Family Familiar Helper

This addon's purpose is to make it easier to see at a glance which pet family has not been used for each tamer for the Family Familiar and Family Fighter battle pet achievements.

Both the Family Familiar and Family Fighter achievements ask you to beat many opponents with the same pet types. For instance the older Family Familiar achievement asks that you complete the following:

If you're keeping score, that means a minimum of 120 battles for Family Familiar and 180 battles for Family Fighter! Ouch!

How To Use

The default behavior of this addon is to summon its window when you target one of the candidates that qualify for either achievement. The tamers for Family Familiar are all part of world quests. The opponents for Family Fighter are up all the time.

If you'd prefer to summon the window manually, you can turn off the automatic summoning through checkboxes at the bottomleft of the window. Mouseover each one to see what they do.

You can also summon the window with the /ffh macro command or by setting up a key binding in the key binding interface.

Once on screen, the window is a grid with tamers down the left in rows and pet families as columns on the right.

Along the bottom are the total tamers defeated with each pet family. The goal is to get at least 12 total for each pet family for Family Familiar and 18 for Famility Fighter. You can mouseover these totals to get a more familiar view of the achievement's progress.

- Updated for 7.3 patch and the new Family Fighter achievement.
- While on the 7.3 client, two tabs will appear at the bottom of the window to switch between Family Familiar and Family Fighter.
- The green checks marking an achievement complete is now based on the achievement's completion status and not how many sub-achievements were finished. This should only be noticable by 7.3 PTR users: The PTR character copy seemed to copy the Family Familiar achievement but not the sub-achievements. So you may see green checks for totals while all pet types are blank. This is normal and should not happen on live servers.

I saw that this had been updated and so wanted to comment on it.
If you're going for the Family Familiar achievement, this is a big help.

Wowhead will tell you if any npcs are available that might help you along.
This addon will then keep track of which you have encountered and so which you ought to look for next.

If you have an excellent memory, you may not need this.
If you do not and / or you like reminders and being sure, then this is definitely an addon for you.
Nice work. It does something simple, but helpful, well.

Edit: Now that I've read about the upcoming Family Fighter achievement, I'll be sure to keep this addon.
